DualShockers’ Game of the Year 2018 Staff Lists — Travis’ Top 10
In an industry once dominated by large studios with multimillion-dollar budgets, the rise of indie games over the last decade has been groundbreaking, allowing small teams push gaming in new directions. Some standout indie games master and refine their respective genres, while others flip conventions on their heads and open new doors for more games to succeed t
Minecraft seemingly took no time at all to establish itself as something special. The mechanics were accessible and nuanced, its simplistic art design quickly became iconic, and Minecraft’s truly open world let players both escape from the real world and create their own. It was a game that became attractive to all ages, especially to those who grew up with LEGO and had a fascination with build
As 2018 comes to a close, DualShockers and our staff are reflecting on this year’s batch of games and what were their personal highlights within the last year. Unlike the official Game of the Year 2018 awards for DualShockers, there are little-to-no-rules on our individual Top 10 posts. For instance, any game — not just 2018 releases — can be considered.
It might have slightly higher recoil than other DMRs (provided that they are fully kitted with attachments), but that is the only thing you have to control. You could cause carnage on the battlefield, taking players out by those deadly consecutive sh
As of Season 11, the M16A4 is still considered to be one of the best guns in the game, especially with a decent Scope and a Suppressor. With the changes in the patch notes, the Scar-L is also back in business. The AWM is still the top dog when it comes to sniper rifles, and the UMP45 packs a close-range pu
2018’s ” Fix PUBG ” campaign and the new addition of Vikendi , the game’s snow-themed map, have kept me hooked on the classic battle royale game. Upon booting up PUBG , I don’t even remember the various optimization problems that caused me to lambast the game in the past. You can read my exhaustive thoughts on the game here .
Microtransactions have been a thing in PUBG missions for a couple of years now. It all works with a rotating crate system . Players can unlock crates with BP. These cost real cash . The locked crate system was phased out back in 2019. You can get various cosmetics from crates, primarily clothing items and gun sk
You know who else loved lists? King Hammurabi of the First Babylonian Dynasty. Code of Hammurabi ? Now there’s a great list. “An eye for an eye?” An absolute all-time classic. Old Hammurabi, an absolute madman. Complete legend! Don’t even get me started on ol’ Saint Nicholas. Did you see who made it on the nice list this year?
General use buttons such as confirm/select/use are placed at the bottom, buttons used most often will be placed in the middle, and buttons used for specific actions are placed at the top.

You could also add a stock to the weapon that would further mitigate the recoil and help with stability and accuracy . If your opponent possesses this weapon, it is best to confront them from a long dista
You can leave a Ranked Match up to 5 minutes after (but not before) the plane has taken off without losing reputation, in situations where matchmaking has provided you with a random teammate who has then exited the ma
Since the game’s inception in 2016, the main purpose of the game has always been to be a Battle Royale . As such, most of the game modes in the game still follow that same formula, although they are spread out over several different mo
I distinctly remember experiencing envy when PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds was at the peak of its popularity. As someone who played on consoles and didn’t own a PC, PUBG became a spectator sport for me. It seems ironic (and totally inaccurate) now, but I then viewed Fortnite as a knock-off “low budget” version, setting for that free game while the “cool kids” played the real battle royale game that started the cr
Among Us didn’t just effect players, however, as it caused a surge in popularity for party games like Fall Guys . While games like Hades and Ori and the Will of the Wisps represent important milestones in indie games in 2020, Among Us represents a historic moment, as it helped people stay connected and happy while the world went into isolat
PUBG Mobile has a slightly different Season set-up than the PC or console version, with the PUBG Mobile season 12 starting on March 6th. All the platforms share a sort of similar theme for cosmetics, with a big focus on Cyberpunk during Season 11
A lot of care seems to have been put on the menu presentation as if PUBG Corp. wants the player to believe that their experience has as high of a production value as its reputation implies. But entering the player lobby, surrounded by several more lifeless and personality-less moving mannequins, gives the impression that you’re still in some sort of mod. The frame rate stutters as the plane flies above the island, and although the game runs better on the ground, it never comes across as one dressed to impres
